River Murray Football League talk

Oneil will not even poll in top 5

[Half Back]

Yes Cruchy Aspel and Michael Raidas got in a fight. They ran into each other right near the end of the game and Crunchy got up and punched Raidas in the nose. He got a yellow card for it and when he was sent off he took off his Jumper and stood on the boundary and abused Raidas telling him to come off and fight him. Aparently he continued once they were in the change rooms and Dent had to drag Crunchy out.

2 team mates fighting is a disgrace. tailem should be ashamed of themselves and not just the players the coach and committee. tailem were never going to be a finals contender they were too inconsistent during the year proved by winning to jervois one week and losing the next.
dents time is over he has done nothing with the club except spend alot of money.

[GWW]

That chip on your shoulder appears to have grown even more Half Back.

[Goldberg]

It is a big chip ur right GWW, but he has a point!!! 3 Years at Tailem, with 1 finals appearance,(bundled out first week convincingly), twice 6th from seven, not a great record. I understand he's tried to bring through some juniors, but he needs to recruit better. He's found no-one of any real quality for the club. Their best players are either local or were there b4 he came along.

[Goldberg]

Imps v Mannum

Imps will win this, with a full list to choose from, you cant stop them all.

Ramblers v Panthers

Ramblers will smash Jervois by 7-8 goals

FIL/Lion what u think???

[Goldberg]

Oneil will not even poll in top 5

Wait & see I guess, I think he's a smokey too, but then again I thought Tailem would win last week

no chip. just disappointment. the finals appearance i dont believe is an improvement. tailem were lucky to make the finals. meinigie were unlucky not to make finals but would have had the same fate as tailem. i agree that dent has not done well in recruitment most of them have left and whoever is left dont believe will stay for next year unless dent throws more money at them. next year if he stays he needs to offer the right players the right money. not throw $600 at the first guy to walk through the door. i agree there best players come locally and there juniors will be good for them but they need them to stick around.

[Goldberg]

Tailem need to go 1 way or the other for 2 years.

a, Bite the bullet & pay very few players, & play as many kids as possible
Spend some decent cash on GUN players, not 10 players on small amounts.

b, Cut some of their dead weight, eg: back flankers on $250 a game & get the Key forwards they really need not matter what it cost (within reason)

You say "disappointment", you clearly have something against the TBFC, you've been bagging them on here all year, i think you might just want to get over it and move on. You openly stated you wanted Meningie to beat them a few weeks ago so why would you have any "disappointment" about the way their season went?

You say the TBFC committee has to take some responsibility for an an on field incident that happened between 2 players, i don't know who is to blame for it, but to say its the committee's fault is a bit rich.

Re the other matter of recruiting, whilst some of the recruiting has been disappointing, its not for a lack of trying. Sometimes clubs get lucky and sometimes they struggle to get that big key forward they want. They were after the ex Kangarilla full forward who went to Willunga, and from reading on here, 1 or 2 others. I'm not sure though many people could say blokes like Vickers, Bell, Lynch and Gabb haven't offered anything to the club the last 2 or 3 years.

No club wants to struggle but all clubs do at certain times. Its difficult for a club with a limited population base to compete against clubs located in bigger populations like Imperials who have a massive budget and income.

Tailem nearly folded about 3 years ago, they're not dominant at the moment but clearly, even from an outsiders perspective, they're making good progress, especially with juniors and some quality locals getting a sniff of A grade footy.

[sick of it]

How could you possibly blame the committee for the on field actions of 2 players. As for Dent you can't train players who don't attend training (locals as well as contract players). Out of the 21 blokes in the A grade squad very few committed to 2 nights a week training (when you lack players how do you make them). Hopefully Res, Under 17's and Under 15's bring home a better result for the club.

[happy]

Seems another club have issues with players fighting. The hill at Ramblers was the place to be by the sounds with 2 Rambler A grade players having a disagreement on Sunday after the game.

[DOWN THE PITCH]

Yes Cruchy Aspel and Michael Raidas got in a fight. They ran into each other right near the end of the game and Crunchy got up and punched Raidas in the nose. He got a yellow card for it and when he was sent off he took off his Jumper and stood on the boundary and abused Raidas telling him to come off and fight him.

Half Back tell me the amout of money Dent has used over the 3 years ????. If you blokes had a footy brain, it's Daimen Radis and you have talked up that incident more than what really happen.

Half Back & Golberg other than Hogarth, a local will be lucky to finish in the top five. Playing finals is an improvement, as that was the first time a lot of players had played finals at A grade level.

as mentioned the player that hit raidis had been known to do this so it was not an isolated incident. the committee would be aware of this players past actions. a committee cant be responsible for 2 players on the field but they are responsible for who is being recruited to the club and the image there players protray. im not certain i would want a player that had been known to do this in the past running around on the field at my club.
no you cant make A grade players committed and i agree that tailem do have a disadvantage to other clubs in there money and location. but they must have some money most of the A grade would be getting paid. perhaps that is there problem i certainly would not be training 2 nights a week if i was guaranteed a spot in the A grade and a pay cheque at the end of it for minimal work. if players were told they werent going to get a full pay unless they made a commitment to training it may change things. if those players then chose to leave for threat of losing money then so be it. i wouldnt want players that arent committed and are only there for $$$$.
it again comes down to recruiting the right players and yes some are going to pay off more than the others but the majority of dents recruiting has not paid off.
down the pitch who will finish in tailems top 5?

[footyislife]

IS the rumour true that TYSON WAITE has broken his hand and will not play again this year ? The witch doctors curse ,will it get them again .

[killa krossova]

i would say that TB havnt recruited 1 decent recruit in the past 6 or so years apart from the 2 raidis brothers. Not sure who u could point the finger at coach/commitee??? Prob both. Paying average players good money, you will always get poor results.

Footy is life about wait, REAL OR RUMOUR?????

You don't think Vickers is a quality player (is in the best just about every week) kk? And Bell as well. Both quality players. Gabb and Lynch have been decent too. Not elite, but haven't disgraced themselves.

[Rough]

Cannot wait for Tomorrows Mighty Roos VS Invincible Imps match. Another sleepless night in anticipation, cant afford pay TV here at Mannum so another night of watching Guthie Renker sell a trailer load of pimple cream and Benny Hinn cure a blind person or two.
For those of you who have some sort of outstanding recruiting formula, don't release it here publicly. Hold onto it as it would be worth a fortune. AFL clubs with s/load of paid staff dont get it right for a decent amount of the time, so local footy clubs which are largely run by vollunteers in their spare time could be forgiven for making their fair share of recruiting mistakes.

[been there done that]

I would say most clubs have recruited players to their club which haven't work out. I think what Tailem have to do is look at their list and make some hard decisions and cull some players that are there for the wrong reason, recruit some quality players to the club that will stick around for 4 to 5 years to help with the transision of some qaulity U/17s players into A grade football.
